                Hello, Mickey, and thank you for sharing your feedback with Alden Towers. We sincerely apologize for the experience you had with our community. We would like to take this opportunity to follow up with you regarding your feedback, as we feel there may have been a miscommunication between yourself and our team. We do acknowledge there was an error in the assignment of your apartment home. Our team did provide an option to move into a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment, and honor the rental rate you were originally quoted. As this offer was declined, the holding deposit you placed on the apartment home is going to be fully refunded. We want to assure you this mishap was not intentional, and we are discussing it internally to ensure this does not happen again in the future. We are very sorry we were unable to ensure your satisfaction and have you as a resident with us. If there is anything more we can do for you, or if you have any additional questions, comments, or concerns, please, don't hesitate to reach out to us at the office. We are available at your convenience at 313-824-1310 or aldpropmgr@villagegreen.com. Thank you, Andrew F., Property Manager
